Dorset is such a wonderful place to raise a family. We have long sandy beaches and wonderous woodland walks, bustling towns and quaint villages, award winning attractions and plenty of family friendly events.
Dorsetmums aims to list all the great places to go, children's classes, half term and seasonal events, useful contacts, family family campsites, pubs with play areas and much much more!
DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ATTRACTIONS ARE CLOSED AND CHILDREN'S CLASSES ARE NOT RUNNING. PLEASE USE THE DORSETMUMS WEBSITE FOR LOCAL INFORMATION AND SUPPORT OUR FAMILY FRIENDLY BUSINESSES WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN ONCE AGAIN.
With many people currently having to stay at home it would be advisable to order food through a local business which includes high street convenience strores, farm shops and wholesalers. Please see our list of Companies Delivering Food and Provisions and try to order well in advance as demand is high.
Dorset has a huge choice of small Soft Plays and Play Cafes which are perfect for babies up to pre schoolers plus there's large venues with muti-level play areas, steep slides and obstacles providing hours of fun for the bigger kids.
Dorset has a wonderful variety of attractions, soft plays, farms, castles, country parks, museums and much more.
